As Potema and Desmon exited the jarls longhouse, Potema was thinking about the knowing look jarl ravencrone gave her when she introduced herself. They walked towards alva's house as it was still daytime, Desmon had already dealt with laelette by capturing her and with the help of falion was able to cure her and return her to her family, making a certain young boy happy to have his mother back. Potema also took notes on the cure to help those who want free of it in Winterhold and Pridehold. They would most likely have to kill alva as unlike laelette she's been doing this on her own free will.
As they entered alva's house, Potema had to stun Hroggar as he got aggressive. Potema stayed upstairs to watch over the man as Desmon went downstairs and picked the basement door lock and used a spell to turn invisible and to muffle his feet. Alva was sleeping in her coffin before a silver bolt appeared a few inches from her head and imbedding itself in her temple revealing Desmon standing to the side of her coffin with a crossbow aimed at her head.
As soon as she died, Hroggar breathing evened out as he was no longer under the spell of alva. After Potema revived him, he was confused about where he was as the last thing he remembers is finding alva in his rented room after drinking away the pain of losing his wife and child. After giving him the gold to rebuild and the two vials of blood and told him to head to the Pridehold jarl residence and ask for Johnathon as with those vials of blood it was not to late to bring back his wife and child. He pretty much ran all the way to the carriage to take him there.
Desmon dragged alva's dead body by the foot beside Potema all the way before the jarl's thrown before handing alva's journal to her. " so we had a traitor in our midst" jarl ravencrone said getting a nod from Desmon. " If you two take care of this plot, there is room in Morthal for another thane, not to mention I'm willing to give you alva's former house and allow you to buy land in my Provence" the jarl said before giving them both knowing looks and commenting that a assassin and necromancer of their caliber should not have a problem before dismissing them.
As they headed towards the lair Potema asked how the jarl knew who they were. Desmon told her about the jarl's bloodline being seers, making Potema become thoughtful before they both continued on their way.
Johnathon was in his thrown room when one of his people came to him saying a dragon was circling the city. Johnathon stepped out of his home in Pridehold and looked up and immediately recognized the dragon. He used lightweight rock justu and the deva path to fly into the air, unknowingly spreading more of his unwanted faith among the populace.
Alduin saw him coming and landed miles away from the city and a few minutes later Johnathon land before him."Kreh fin knee Mal zeymah ahrk hi fen rule ol dii folov haal sinon do parthunax fin traitor"(Bend the knee little brother and you will rule as my right hand instead of Parthunax the traitor) Alduin says. Johnathon shakes his head making Alduin growl."why dreh hi resist"(why do you resist) Alduin demands.
"Hi lost pervertaan hin purpose ahrk nii los dii job wah folov nii"(You have perverted your purpose and it is my job to right it) Johnathon responds. Alduin growled again before releasing a blast of fire so large it could be seen as a second sun to the people of Pridehold. After releasing his attack Alduins eye's widened as he saw Johnathon sheilding himself with his deva path before being pushed back twenty feet by a almighty push Johnathon released, putting out the flames around him.
Johnathon looked to be listening to someone before focusing on Alduin"Begone brother, it is not yet time for our fight" Jonathan shouted. Alduin also looked to the tree's where Johnathon had been listening and saw a figure of golden light. "Rul Mu Ney reach peak Mulaag Mu fent see wo come out Nau top dovahkii"(When we both reach peak strength we shall see who come out on top DOVAHKIIN) Alduin shouted before flying off.Johnathon created clones to put out the rest of the fire and rebuild the forest before he looked and noticed the figure of gold was gone and headed back to his city.
After a few days of running James and Serana were nearing riften. As they were heading through a forest, James brought them to a stop in a clearing. James stood still for a moment before his lightsaber hilt flew to his hand and ignited his blade and Serana turned into bats circling overhead as they heard a twig snap. As his blade gave off a ominous red glow he spoke.
"Kings have honor, soldiers have bravery, poets have heart but all i have is rage and you shall soon only have fear" James spoke with his eye's glowing before spinning 180 degrees in place, bisecting a Thalmor assassin in half at the waist. He raised his blade up vertically in front of himself as the shadows moved.He could sense nine others quickly moving towards him. "You believe darkness is your ally but have you fully embraced it as i have" James spoke before he blocked a bolt of lightning before grasping one of his assailants by the throat with the force and dragging the Thalmor agent out of the cover of darkness, not that it offered much cover as being a vampire he could see quite well in the dark.
Before he could snap the elf's neck, he sensed another bolt of lightning coming from the front and another invisible assassin coming from the right. He redirected the lightning to another hiding in the tree's, hearing a scream and seeing a smoking body drop. He threw the elf he was choking at the limb of a tree with the force, impaling him on it before turning and blocking a stab from the assassin with a enchanted sword.
Each trade of blows between their blades would cause the assassin to stumble from the power behind his strike. With a twirl of his blade he destroyed a ice spike from a hiding wizard while slicing through a normal blade of another previously invisible attacker and beheading this second sword wielding foe with a twirl before blasting a mass of force lightning at the previous one, which picked him off the ground with a shriek, throwing his charred corpse out of sight.James jumped to and kicked the spot where the lightning came from, knocking the previous invisible wizard out of the forest.
Before his companion could've helped, the companion was dragged through the trees by the forgotten Serana in the form of bats. The bats dropped him drained of all blood in front of James making the wizard yell out before quieting in fear noticing James raise his hand. A bowl shape haze appeared to the naked eye from his hand before a small flame appeared in the middle. (imagine ozai burning the earth kingdom when the comet comes) before he could resume yelling he was consumed by a firestorm that grew from that small flame whithin seconds. There were only two left, one male and another female. James utilized force scream driving the male half insane as he fled. As serana went to take care of the one that fled, James faced down the last, a female high elf that he heard giving orders.
The elf angry at him for killing her men "You dare strike back against your betters" she spit out getting a chuckle out james. "I am about to take something by force that the hero of kvatch was offered for free and you think your my better" James spoke confusing her before she screamed as she fell to the ground under spasms of the torture curse crucio. While being racked with pain her eyes widened in horror as he stepped towards her. " Don't worry I'm not going to kill you, Your going to be a example to Elenwen and her superiors back in high isle" James said with a dark grin before he cast again cuasing her screams to scare off the wildlife in the forest.
The next morning outside the embassy things were quite before a Thalmor guard started yelling about finding someone. As Elenwen walked out to see what the guards found, she fought the urge to gag as she came upon of what could only be described as what was left of the captain of her assassin squad she sent to hunt one of the dragonborns that had mocked the Thalmor weeks ago in solitude.
The female elfs limbs were cut off and seemed to be cauterized at the stumps. Her pointed ears and eye's suffered the same fate. she had second degree burns across what was left of her body and was twitching, both things you usually see with long exposure to low powered lightning magic. As she was being carried to the healer, Elenwen heard her muttering over and over again. "Monster, the devil always gets his due's, Monster" before coughing some blood, making those carrying her to go faster and to leave Elenwen in her thoughts.
A female figure walked through the cave outside Morthal passing a couple vampires as she did before coming upon a dinning area were some vampires were feeding. Movarth looked up from feeding, having spotted alva entering the dinning area of his lair. "My dear does the village of Morthal expect a thing" Movarth asked. "The villagers dont but theirs this new woman asking questions and sticking her nose in our business there" Alva spoke making Movarth intrigued about this new variable.
"what do you know of her" he asked. " well i heard she was a necromancer brought in by the jarl". " She will most likely be here sometime during the day but we will be waiting" Movarth said before chuckling and sending alva to go rest.
James and Serana had just made it to riften when they were waylaid by a Courier with a letter from the dawnguard asking James for a meeting at a place of his choosing. After sending a reply they were about to enter the city before being stopped by the same gaurd that stopped Desmon. "Halt you have to pay the visitor tax"! the guard said. James raised his hand which was crackling with red lightning. Between that and his errie eye's the guard was quick to unlock the gate, making the other guard shake his head at the greedy guard.
After entering the city they made their way down the stairs to the apothecary. When they entered they were greeted by Elgrim before he saw who it was before grumbling and calling for his wife Hafjorg. When she came to the front she smiled before walking up to him and shaking his hand and saying it was nice to finally meet him.
"You know of me and not just from the being a dragonborn" James asks and Hafjorg nods before responding that his brother Desmon spoke of him and Johnathon when he invested in their shop allowing them to expand, making her husband grumble about how she been going on about that.
James walked over to the woman going through ingredients like they cost nothing while experimenting in the art of potion making while Serana looked before going back to the conversation she was having with Hafjorg. As he walked up Ingun tensed before relaxing and going back to experimenting.
After a few minutes Ingun stopped before looking over at James who had sat down to watch her work. " You know it's creepy to stare at a lady like that" she said cuasing James to chuckle before replying "I have the FREEDOM to do what I want as long as I follows the law". Emphasizing a certain part of the sentence making her iratated before her face became neutral and she went back to experimenting as he watched.
After another few minutes she stopped to look at the seated hooded James again. "So what do you want from me, i already paid your brother for the ingredients" She asked cuasing him to shake his head before replying he was their to offer a proposition.
"Sorry not my type of work but I'm sure there are women in riften if offered enough coin would gladly spend the night with you" she said with a mocking sweet smile before returning to her work.James rolled his eye's before he spoke again. " Not exactly the type of proposition i was thinking" James said, making her narrow her eye's before replying. " And what could you offer to make me consider marriage let alone convince my mother" she said with a scoff before focusing on her work.
James started ticking off his fingers as he listed,investments into your own alchemy garden and shop, immortality, power, access to magic which I'm sure your mother never allowed, plants so rare you could say their otherworldly, a second way of making potions, the ability to travel as you wish, enough political power of your own by being with me to enter politics in many holds with the number growing, prisoners to test your potions on etc, the last one and the knowing grin causing her eye's to darken dangerously and for her perfect mask to crack a little before going back to neutral.
"Temping but i have no idea what you are insinuating by the last one" She replied shifting to her other foot. "Does your mother know the potential you have and that your a borderline psychopath because of her and your upbringing" James said right behind her cuasing her to jump as she didn't see him move having never been trained for combat, she unsheathed a gold and gem infused dagger as she spun before setting it on his throat, which James allowed.
"I won't be used as a bartering chip" she said through gritted teeth, while drawing a little blood from James. "Is that what you think i want, access to your family through you, getting her to nod making him chuckle, no no my dear, I'm willing to go through your family for your hand" James spoke making her somewhat confused. "I won't be a trophy wife and plaything for you either, I'd rather die" she said with conviction.
"Not that either but a equal relationship is what I'm after and your winning brownie points with my beloved, causing her to look at Serana out of the corner of her eye and seeing her grinning as the owners were in a trance, so what do you say, will you give me a chance" James finished talking with a question."Even if i say yes how will you convince my mother" she questions making him grin. James just said to leave that to him.
The next day movarth waited in the dinning area for his guest to arrive with his personal sired vampire alva by his side. Around noon they heard yelling coming from the first room. Movarth signaled and the last eight vampires ran into the room were the battle was taking place. After alot of noise one of the vampires came flying back before rolling into the chamber with it's chest caved in and shattered ribs poking out as what was clearly a dreadlord chased after with a war hammer, only to be blown to peices by a poweful thunderbolt from Movarth.
Movarth heard footfalls and looked up to see Potema walk in, movarth's eye's widened as he muttered her name, gaining her attention. "You recognize me" she asked. " How could i not, i remember when they celebrated your birth and watching your rise to power and your fall" movarth spoke making her realise how old he really was as she was born in the previous era, so he must have been born around the second era as she doubted he was around a hundred when he was turned. Herself having been born in 3E67.
"How are you alive now" he asked before she went on to explain how a group of necromancers tried to bind her, making him mutter about idiots before he fired a bolt of lightning cuasing her to block with a ward he couldn't identify but was a protego. Alva fired of a volley of ice spike making Potema use a protego agian to block before sending a crucio at Alva cuasing her scream as she fell spasming before losing consciousness.
Seeing Movarth raise the vampire killed by her deathlord, she burned the raised corpse with one hand and used the other to cast protego to stop another bolt of lightning from the side. Movarth overpowered his next thunderbolt, destroying her protego before unleashing a wave of ice, which she blocked with a twirl of her hand which unleashed a firestorm around her negating the ice.
She fired three piercing hexes which he dodged before throwing a volley of fifteen ice spikes which she used a combination of aresto momentum then depluso to return them to him which he blocked with a ward. They both cast a fireball that collided with each other, blinding each other. When the dust cleared movarth was about to take advantage when he coughed up blood.
He looked and saw a hand coming out of his chest, looking behind him he saw alva with her hand through him transform back to Desmon. "How i saw (cough) her knock you unconscious" Movarth asked weakly. " some spells you have to mean them otherwise their just a pretty light" Desmon replied before ripping his hand out and beheading him. After cleaning out the cave they headed back to morthal.
